As per title, I am mind-blown by the speed and stability of NixOS on this “relic” in IT terms… On this machine i tested:
| Distro | Performance |
|---|---|
| Fedora | MEGA slow |
| Ubuntu | OKish |
| LDME | Fast |
| Debian | Fast |
| NixOS | VERY Fast |
And the best thing is that I can bring this config with me on any computer! Oh boy, I think i have fallen in love with NixOS
How is fedora that slow? Is it due to btrfs? Is tracker running in the background?
No idea… a real bummer but I am grateful I could not get it to run smoothly as it pushed me to eventually land on NixOS
I run fedora on a 2009 thinkpad and it’s fast. I’m surprised NixOS is that much faster.
